Big Bang to focus on world tour, no promotional activities for 'Still Alive'

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment has revealed it will not hold promotional activities for Big Bang’s much-anticipated special re-release album Still Alive. The special edition album is scheduled to drop on June 3 with five additional songs in addition to the songs from the mini album Alive. However, a source close to YG Entertainment revealed the group has decided to not hold any performances for the new album, including music shows, and focus on its ongoing world tour 2012 Big Bang Alive Tour instead.

Big Bang is in the midst of a series of concerts lined up in Japan, with concerts in Osaka from May 31 through June 3, Saitama from June 17 through 17 and Fukuoka from June 23 through June 24.

In the midst of the packed concert schedule, YG Entertainment and Big Bang decided that planning, rehearsing and performing stages for the album in-between would prove too much. Big Bang’s world tour will also take them to Asia, North and South America and Europe to wind them through 16 countries and 25 cities.

Still Alive, its title song Monster and music video will all be unveiled on June 3, while the hard copy will be available on June 6.

That insane amount of teaser is enough to promote the songs tbh

Meh. No music shows. Guess we have to fork out $$$ to watch the new stuff live in concert, or watch fancams ._.

I wish they'd announce the US dates already, even though I'm still not terribly optimistic about them hitting up anywhere in the states besides NY and LA.

[julietislimited.livejournal.com]

yes please. though I would have a decent shot of getting to ny.

Understandable (plus, it'll pretty much sell itself). Not happy with my WonderBang 2.0 dreams being crushed though T_T

Understandable. I don't want them to wear themselves out.

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

if the song does exceptionally well on the charts, they might do a special performance of it on inkigayo. that happened with 2ne1.

[marsheumallow.livejournal.com]

i need europe dates ;;

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

That's great, I am overfilled with joy but COME ON.
YG needs to understand that with things like concerts, us paupers need time to scrape together our pennies. With concerts in England, they'll get announced a year in advance

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

I need US dates YG

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm glad. They have way too much on their plates right now. And besides, it's not like their songs need promotion LOL

I wonder if they're gonna perform their new songs in Saitama and Fukukuoka tho. Isn't that infair for the other Japanese fans that attended the earlier concerts?

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

no wonderbang :(

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

Can we just have the US dates? please?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

They posted the Indonesia tour date in October so I have hope that they are going to post all the dates with ample notice...they are working with Live Nation after all.
